According to the legends, the Spaniards noticed that the reproductive rate of their domestic animals and man himself had a higher reproductive rate in the Andean highlands than in Spain. It is said that the Peruvian natives recommended feeding maca to the animals and that the Spaniards noticed the positive effect of this food. Maca root is used as a traditional medicine with reported benefits of supporting emotional aspects of sexual health, supporting healthy mood balance during menopause and acting as a source of anti-oxidants. Maca is cultivated as three main variants separated according to the colour of their roots, namely yellow, purple (red) and black. The colours of these roots are mainly determined by the intensity of anthocyanin, a plant pigment with anti-oxidant properties. Yellow Maca is the most common form of maca and is most abundantly propagated and consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"7\" width=\"604\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol width=\"429\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"146\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"bottom\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" height=\"4\" width=\"429\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eOne vegetarian capsule provides:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"146\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"bottom\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" height=\"5\" width=\"429\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eLepidium meyenii (Yellow Maca) [\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eYellow root, powder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e] \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"146\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e450mg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"bottom\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" height=\"5\" width=\"429\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"146\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"bottom\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" height=\"5\" width=\"429\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003eOther ingredients: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003eVegetarian capsule, microcrystalline cellulose, and natural flow agent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"146\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"bottom\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" height=\"5\" width=\"429\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"146\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"background: transparent;\" valign=\"bottom\" height=\"4\" width=\"588\" colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePlease take note: Yellow Maca refers to the colour of the root, variance in taste and antioxidants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eOne vegetarian capsule provides: Lepidium meyenii (Yellow Maca) [\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eYellow root, powder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" style=\"font-family: Calibri, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e] 450 mg.
